Dr. Ida Obeso-Martinez isn't just another politician—she's the cardiovascular nurse practitioner who's been on the front lines of healthcare for over two decades, fighting for families in emergency rooms and intensive care units across Imperial Valley. With a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and real-world experience, she's ready to take that same dedication to heal and protect straight to the California State Assembly. 

From serving as Mayor Pro-Tem for the City of Imperial to publishing groundbreaking research in medical journals, Dr. Obeso-Martinez has proven she gets results when it matters most. 

As a proud lifelong resident, devoted wife, and mother who chose to raise her family right here in District 36, she knows our struggles aren't just policy points—they're personal. Now she's bringing her track record of leadership, her deep community roots, and her unwavering commitment to evidence-based solutions to Sacramento, because the Valley deserves a representative who doesn't just talk about healthcare, education, and economic opportunity—she's lived it, led it, and delivered it every single day.
